Taxpayers Not Buying BS

It seems that the taxpayers of Davidson County are not leaning in favor of the sales tax increase:

The anti-tax-increase side looked poised to win in Metro Nashville's sales-tax referendum, having taken a 2-to-1 lead with 87% of all precincts reporting.

There were 13,403 votes in favor of the increase, or about 30% of the votes tallied, and 31,381 against it, which is roughly 70% of the balloting, election officials said around 8:40 p.m. today.

That total included early and paper ballots and 150 of Davidson County’s 172 precincts.

Cool -- now we can get down to business of arguing about an income tax!
